Hie Shrine is a shrine located in Nagata Town, Chiyoda District.

The group of people walked up the mountain along the West Sand Road, preparing to go to the shrine to complete this year's New Year's greetings.

My mother and uncle, dressed in everyday clothes, led the way, while Raku Kagamihara walked behind with his three younger sisters and a sister-in-law.

Compared with the traditional and antique shrines, Hie Shrine is located in Chiyoda and is surrounded by various modern buildings, so the style of its periphery does not look uniform. This caused Kanbaru Raku to see the escalator when climbing the stairs.

I thought this was some kind of modern assembly temple.

But modern shrines all use QR codes to collect incense payments, and you can also pay with UnionPay.

He is really a monk who keeps pace with the times.

"Speaking of which, why do we have to come to this shrine to worship? Because it is very close to Tianhai's house?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli replied as he walked up the stairs: "There is indeed this reason, but the more important reason is that I used to come here every year and it has become a habit."

"You and Qi Mingyue came here every year to worship when we were kids?" Kanbaru asked curiously.

"Yeah."

Because it is the New Year, there are many more people visiting this shrine than usual.

The further up the mountain you go, the more Kagura Raku's impression of this shrine becomes that it resembles an antique shrine.

The shrine building with traces of time, surrounded by green trees, scattered along the shrine, and countless red shrine flags being blown...

Many tourists were smiling during the walk, exaggerating the New Year atmosphere.

There are dozens of flaming red torii gates arranged along the stairs, like a corridor. Looking up, you can only see a little light from the highest point.

"This place looks quite spectacular, but I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before..." Kambara stood at the foot of the bluestone steps and pondered.

"Brother, you're stupid! Of course it's Senbon Torii." Kanbaru Suzu ate the rice balls she bought on the road.

"Is that place famous?"

Compared to Kanbaru Raku's doubts, Kanbaru Suzu looked at him with an extremely suspicious look, as if to say, "How could you not know this?!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli opened his mouth to explain at this time:

"The bell refers to the Thousand Torii Gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Tens of thousands of torii gates stretch from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, forming a corridor like a corridor. Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto should be one of the most famous shrines.

Well, brother, don’t you know?"

"Ten thousand torii gates?"

"Well, there are really so many."

"I really don't know, I haven't even been to Kyoto."

After chatting all the way, we came to the gate of Hie Shrine blessed with red lacquer and gold paint. There were obviously more people here.

The first thing most people do when they come here is to throw a coin into the money box, then put their hands together and pray to the gods for their New Year's wishes.

Washing hands, paying homage, praying... this is roughly the process.

There is nothing worth saying about these things. Besides, the wishes of several sisters are more hidden than the others. Kanbaru cannot ask questions at all. Only Xiaozhiyuki can speak out her wishes casually——[Want to eat more

Lots of fried ice cream].

How wonderful this is!

Simple and unpretentious.

After the visit, you can draw a fortune lottery for free.

I lined up to draw the lottery. When I got the number, I went to the wooden box lined up a few rows aside and took out the signature that I had already written.

"What's so exciting about this? Aren't all the lottery signs in the shrine auspicious?" Kanbaru Suzu said without much interest.

Even though she said that, she couldn't help but be curious when she saw the fortune bar that Kambaraku pulled out.

"Brother, which lottery did you draw?"

"The second lot." Kanbaru replied.

"I got the second lottery when I came up? So far ahead? Brother, hurry up, take it out and see if it's good luck!"

"Aren't you not interested?"

"I'm curious~"

At the urging of his sister, Kambara came to the wooden box, took out the small note inside, and took a look.

"Ah, it's Xiaoji, not bad."

"Let me see, let me see." Kambara Suzu pulled his arm.

"Here, a poem." Kanbaru showed her the unfolded paper.

[The moon was obscured by floating clouds, and I fell into a coma at the beginning of my career. Fortunately, I begged for blessings from the gods, so why worry about it?]

Kanbaru Suzu's brows were wrinkled and loose. She found that she couldn't understand it at all, "Why is it Chinese?"

"It's a poem. Isn't the Chinese language normal?"

"What do you mean."

"Let me see...well...literally, it means that the light is blocked. You have made up your mind to do something, but you are still dizzy..."

Kagura Raku interpreted it and found that the signature was quite accurate.

It fits my situation very well some time ago.

But he was a little confused, so he took the initiative to ask Qi Mingyue for help.

"That's not how you understand the signature. You have to analyze it sentence by sentence. The first sentence means that you have a strong desire, but as of now, it seems that you can't achieve it. The second sentence means that you have a goal, but you still lack it.

Determination. The third sentence means that as long as you work hard for someone, happiness will eventually come. The fourth sentence means that something happy seems to happen to you. According to this good thing, it doesn't matter if you don't worry about the future.

...Overall, it’s good luck.”

Kanbaru frowned after hearing this.

It seems like... I really got myself right!

Every one of them is correct.

"Qimingyue, will you still resolve the signature?"

"Aren't there just a few signatures? You can find out by looking more online."

"..."

Emotions are not signed on the spot.

It’s just something Qi Mingyue saw somewhere before and wrote down.

Kanbaru Suzu ran over with the signature, "My, mine, Qi Mingyue, look at mine, the forty-fifth signature, it's lucky!"

"If you want to be cheerful and show off, your horse will lead your future. If you encounter arrows in the clouds, orchids will appear all over the road."

Tianhai Qimingyue recited the note again, as if searching for memory, and then explained calmly: "The first sentence means that you have been trusted and gained fame, through which you can accumulate wealth. The second sentence is

It says that someone will be your guide in life. The third sentence means that you will get lucky by chance. The fourth sentence means that you will be surrounded by good people, your reputation will be known to the world, and you will become happy."

"I agree with the first three sentences, but I don't like the last one."

Tianhai Qimingyue saw her thoughts: "You mean your rabbit nest is out of business?"

Kanbaru Suzu didn't want to talk about this with her, so she crossed her arms and turned away from her face.

"By the way, Zhixue, have you smoked?"

"No."

"Then go and take a swipe. When you get it, let Qi Mingyue explain it to you and see if it's accurate."

"Sister-chan, do you think your sister is Wikipedia?"

"Anyway, you know a little bit about everything. If not, who would you ask?"

"Do you admit that I am your sister?"

"No!"

Compared to the lively exchanges between a few people, Kanhara Raku found that Tianhai Jiuliuri was always alone and seemed very lonely. She felt like she wanted to talk to a few people, but was too embarrassed to get involved.

.

Even if I wasn't that familiar with Ah Ling before, I still had Qi Mingyue to communicate with her.

"Liu Li." Kanyara walked over and woke her up.

"Huh?" Tianhai Jiuliuli came back to her senses and smiled at Shen Yuanle.

In Kambaraku's view, this was a forced smile on her face, which made her look very lonely.

With her like this, Kaname Yuara couldn't help but take the initiative to extend his hand to her.

Tianhai Jiuliuli also observed the care he actively conveyed to her, and tried to respond to his actions. The warmth conveyed in his hands gave her a little warmth that she could hold tightly.

"What are Liuli thinking at this time? I just saw you staring at the crowd in a daze."
